An international 8-step system based on human proportions,
making the framing easier.
Some of typical shot abbreviations used in a script:
- Extreme Long Shot ELS (General view GV)
- Very long Shot VLS
- Full Shot FS (Long shot LS)
- Long Medium Shot LMS (MLS)
- Medium Shot MS
- Medium Close-Up MCU (MCS)
- Close-Up CU (CS)
- Extreme Close-Up ECU (XCU, BCU)
Shooting other than people is usually restricted to ELS, MS and CU.
Framing is then defined case by case.
Sometimes a simpler 5-step ratio is used, omitting LS, LMS and MCU.
